INST ALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow con­nection of the 6 pin main wiring harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
DASH MOUNTED LED:
The small LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back infor­mation during the transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY :
The Super-regenerative Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dash­board) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window location for best recep­tion. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the connector toward the control module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH :
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not necessary to conceal the switch. However, concealment is recommended as it offers a higher level of security . The switch can be mounted to the lower dash p anel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 9/ 32" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer. Route the switch's connector toward the control module.
NOTE: During the program sequence, there are times when this switch and the ignition switch will be used simultaneously. We recommend that the push-button switch be mounted on the left side of the ignition switch to facilitate this operation.

SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before secur­ing the siren, check behind your chosen location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package are intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all applications. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury or property damage.
Mount the switch in the hood locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included bracket may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
STARTER INHIBIT RELA Y :
Select a mounting location within 6" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping sheet metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
SHOCK SENSOR:
Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consis­tent operation from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 24" of the control module to allow routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8 self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer for use later in the installa­tion.

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HA VE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCON­NECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle. WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS Connector “C”:
Fused RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.
Fused RED WIRE: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay.
YELLOW Wire: St arter Output Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and ensure that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral. In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.

GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCES­SORY" positions.
NOTE: See programming information (Bank 3 Selection # 6) concerning this wire to allow output during the "START" mode.
VIOLET Wire: Accessory Output Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions, and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "START" or "CRANK" positions.
Wiring The 4 Pin Auxiliary Output Harness, Connector “A”
The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the ve­hicle during different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well as how to use them.
Black w Blue Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 250 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the remote start unit activates as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent
